 the remaining detergent

using a cloth soaked in clean water

and wrung out well.

Leather Upholstery Maintenance

*

1. Remove dust and sand using a

vacuum cleaner.

2. Wipe o

 the soiled area with a soft

cloth and a suitable, special cleaner

or a soft cloth soaked in a mild

detergent (about 5%) diluted with

water.

3. Wipe o

 the remaining detergent

using a cloth soaked in clean water

and wrung out well.

4. Remove moisture with a dry, soft

cloth and allow the leather to

further dry in a well-ventilated,

shaded area. If the leather gets wet

such as from rain, remove the

moisture and dry it as soon as

possible.

NOTE

Because genuine leather is a natural

material, its surface is not uniform

and it may have natural scars,

scratches, and wrinkles.

To maintain the quality for as long as

possible, periodical maintenance,

about twice a year, is recommended.

If the leather upholstery comes into

contact with any of the following,

clean it immediately.

Leaving it uncleaned could cause

premature wear, mold, or stains.

Sand or dirt

Grease or oil, such as hand cream

Alcohol, such as in cosmetic or

hair dressing items

If the leather upholstery gets wet,

promptly remove moisture with a dry

cloth. Remaining moisture on the

surface may cause deterioration such

as hardening and shrinkage.

Exposure to direct sunlight for long

periods may cause deterioration and

shrinkage. When parking the car

under direct sunlight for long

periods, shade the interior using

sunshades.

Do not leave vinyl products on the

leather upholstery for long periods.

They may a

ect the leather quality

and coloring. If the cabin

temperature becomes hot, the vinyl

may deteriorate and adhere to the

genuine leather.

Plastic Part Maintenance

CAUTION

Do not use polishing agents.

Depending on the product ingredients,

they could cause discoloration, stains,

cracks or peeling of the coating.

Instrument Panel Top (Soft pad)

Maintenance

Extremely soft material is used for the

soft pad surface. If the soft pad surface

is rubbed harshly with a dry cloth, it

could result in the surface being

damaged and leaving white scratch

marks.

1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft

cloth soaked in a mild detergent

(approx. 5%) diluted with water.

2. Wipe o

 the remaining detergent

using a cloth soaked in clean water

and wrung out well.
